IOS Packet Capture help needed

cisco24x7
Level 6
Level 6

According to Cisco documentation:

Finally there is a feature that was missing from IOS in the past. This is the ability to easily capture packets travelling through the router, and export the captured data to PCAP format so that you can view it with third party tools (like Wireshark). The packets can also be viewed locally on the router. The configuration example below shows how to enable packet capture (supported in IOS version 12.4(20)T):

Cisco-Router# monitor capture buffer mycapturedata size 128 max-size 128 circular

Cisco-Router# monitor capture point ip cef capturepoint1fastEthernet 1/1 both

Cisco-Router# monitor cap point associate capturepoint1 mycapturedata

However, I am running IOS 12.4(24)T1 but I can not enable it:

R2851-3#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R2851-3(config)#monitor ?

event-trace Tracing of system events

session Configure a SPAN session

R2851-3(config)#monitor

IOS version is c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-24.T1.bin

Anyone know why? Thanks.

You are trying to run the "monitor" commands from config mode but you run them from privilged exec mode ie.

R2851-3#monitor capture ?
